Going to pre-order one or the other tomorrow. No gaming, watching x265 10bit movies, general browsing and work tasks through Fedora. It hurts losing the 61 but how much of a difference is the $320? (Already have a 990 Pro waiting.)

The biggest difference between the two processors is the iGPU, if you're not getting it for gaming it's definitely not worth it. If you were getting it for gaming, the performance increase is pretty minor and still probably wouldn't be worth it.
